POLL: Which 4th gen do I keep?!?!?!?

OK,
So right now I own a '96 SE with a ton of mods on it:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=485958

and I just aquired this:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=485380

Now, I have the option of taking my suspension, brakes, and rims and such, putting them on the black 97, and selling my '96.

The only thing I can't take, would be my PERFECT transmission/clutch/flywheel.

The 97's is in excellent shape, it's just stock n: hahaha

Either way, i'm going to be making some profit.
I just have the option of getting a 1 year newer car ( that IS black on black cloth). Although, my 96 has 85K miles, and the 97 has 130ish.


There is also a SLIGHT possibility that I could take the interior from the black one, and swap it into mine....


If it was you, what would you do?!?!?!?!

Mike

I'd keep the 96 .... that is a big difference in miles and all the work you've put into it. It's not worth the work to switch it over or lose the mods just for 1 year newer, especially when it has more miles.

you should swap the interior to the 96 and use the trunk and bumpers to do the 97 conversion.

You'd be crazy to sell the 96' IMO. Nothing needs changed! (but then again I'm partial to the 95-96 body style)

Keep the Black '96, it's already modded!
I'f you need another project, then the '97.
or
keep both!

Sell the '97 Maxima. I see no gains in selling your '96.

What everyone else has said so far is right--it's not worth it to take all of your mods from the '96 and apply them to the '97, especially with the added miles on the '97.

Plus, I agree with mbandi: the '95-'96 body style is much better looking

Keep the 96' swap in the interior, its a big difference in mileage and you've already put so much work into the 96'

Sell the '97, leatherseats.com for the '96's interior. Swap the '97 bumper if you prefer the later look.

Well I got a really good offer tonight.
I'm going to sell the '96.
I'm keeping the system, rims, suspension, brakes, LTB, HID's and exhaust.
I'm getting a 5th gen LSD and a 3.5 which will be in by january hopefully .

At first I wanted to keep the 96, but now i'll have a black on black with LSD 3.5 drivetrain, and 85% of the mods I had on the '96.


Mike
